Again. Donald Trump hasn’t failed to fight the pandemic.
He never cared to try.
Trump isn’t president to marshal resources to help people or to use government to protect anyone.
He’s president to dismantle government as an impediment to corruption and profit. Period.

You cannot understand what is happening if you’re still trying to view Trump through the lens of politics as usual.
This is post-politics, a perversion of the system by a person with absolutely no interest in serving as president beyond the attention, profit, and power.

People vacillate between delusions that Trump is going to grow into the presidency or is trying and failing and abject horror that the system is collapsing.
It’s collapsing. And authoritarians like Trump feast on collapsing systems while providing a flickering veneer of normalcy

You know why Trump doesn’t care about his security briefings?
He doesn’t care.
He’s not president to handle anything, he’s president because that’s the gig that allows him to rig the system and destroy government as a public good while getting his attention fix.
